Here are some of photos of a cherry blossom viewing filled weekend. It included, sake tasting, and plenty of photo opportunities around Ogawamachi’s surrounding nature. The town is located in Saitama, little more than aone hour away from Tokyo’s Ikebukuro via Tobu Tojo Line.

Please feel free to send me your comments at the end of this blog. I am always happy about feedback.

Thank you very much,

Photo Opportunities – Hiking in Ogawamachi, Saitama – 小川町埼玉ハイキング

Posted on April 6, 2017

Just moved to Ogawamachi, Saitama prefecture in Japan a couple of weeks ago and immediately started to explore the area with my usual partner, my camera.

Ogawamachi, in Saitama Prefecture close to Tokyo, offers many opportunities to explore nature, especially with a camera of any kind. It is also kids friendly with a mountain rollercoaster, observatory and playground located at Mount Sengen Park relatively close to the station (also reachable via taxi if the walk from the station is too long). Various hiking paths lead to nearby mountain tops of Mount Sengen (~280m) accessible within few hours round trip from Ogawamachi Station. This place is at the end of the Tobu Tojo Train line from Ikebukuro, Tokyo, (~1 hour 15 mins express train),  or, Hajiko Line starting at Hachioji.

Hikes feature many kinds of flowers, insects, wildlife, a mountain roller coaster, playgrounds, shrines, historic sites and much more. Best of all, Ogawamachi has 2 Hot Springs, 3 Sake Breweries, One Winery and one Micro Brewery just in case if a hike calls for a food or drink break. It also has a supermarket close to the station including various stores such as a wonderful bakery, (going there almost every day), groceries, and a Dollar (100yen) store. The area is also not overrun by hikers such as more popular areas around Tokyo offering an opportunity to discover a more unseen Japan. Best of all everybody here is friendly and helpful.

For sure try some of the local foods in one of the restaurants in town. Ogawamachi is known for growing food organically including rice. Macrobiotic food is a common goal of people living here. This is one of the reasons why I moved here, besides the kids friendly environment. What is not available here, fortunately, are common fast-food chain stores. Food here is an important matter and gets prepared very carefully on an individual basis in most restaurants. There are Chinese ramen, Indian curry, and, of course, Japanese restaurants of many kinds, and, Izakaya peppered throughout town.

If biking then Ogawamachi is a good place to take a break before moving on to Chichibu close by.

Here are some photos from my most recent outings mostly at Mount Sengen and the town of Ogawamachi.

Strasburg Railroad – Coal, Steam and Timeless Engines

Posted on January 2, 2015

Thank you very much for visiting my blog.

Writing, and, mostly showing photos about Lancaster County’s Strasburg Railroad, was always on my mind. Many times I had the opportunity to ride these beautifully restored and maintained steam locomotives. Fascinated by the mighty metal parts moving gigantic wheels, the smoke and steam, the sound of the whistle and the surrounding history I always took a number of photos. These remind me about the days when friends, family and I embarked on a one hour or so train ride at pretty much any season.

It is exciting when one hears the whistle of the approaching train. After this, train not visible yet, black smoke can be seen above the train mechanic shop and a little while later there she finally appears. I am sure that there will be many more photos, mostly thanks to the well organized team of engineers maintaining this railroad.

Please enjoy these photos about the Strasburg Railroad and its surrounding area in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.

Blizzard Commute

Posted on February 17, 2014

Franklin Line T Commuter Train becoming visible through the heavy blizzard snow

Franklin Line T Commuter Train becoming visible through the heavy blizzard snow

Took these photos of the Franklin Line T commuter train while cross-country skiing through a nearby forest during the last blizzard. It was amazing to still see the trains in operation on this day despite the large amount of snow and ice. Sometimes I wonder what people inside might think or do when looking out of their windows into a swirling cloud of white snow inside this nicely heated train.

I am very glad that my camera equipment held up. Every time I venture out into such weather I am learning something new about how to best hide the camera and lens from the elements.
